About this episode

The episode discusses the recent military actions against Iran and the potential future of the conflict.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military, cyber, and intelligence operations against Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and striking senior leadership compounds, IRGC bases, and missile facilities; Iran retaliated with hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles targeting U.S. bases, Israel, and Gulf states. Join Aaron David Miller with Suzanne Maloney, Ali Vaez, and Rob Malley on Carnegie Connects as they examine where the conflict is headed, prospects for negotiations, and the implications for Iran’s leadership and regime stability.
